My Adventures in the kitchen.

Peanut Butter & Jelly…. COOKIES!

I read about these cookies a long time ago in a magazine issue of People (I think??) the one with Eva Longoria on it, about her cookbook. Anyway, there was an article in it where these cookies were shown and I fell in love with them… It just took me a long time to actually make them.

Preheat oven to 375F. Form your peanut butter dough into 1 inche balls, and place on baking pan, flatten slightly. When all the balls have been slightly flattened, sprinkle them with the sugar. Bake for 7 minutes, then working quickly, remove the pan from the oven, and use the back of the 1/4 Tbsp measure press into each cookie leaving a dent in the middle of the cookie. Then use the 1/4 measure to spoon jam into each dent. Place the tray back into the oven and continue to bake for 7 more minutes. Remove from oven and move to a cooling rack.

Be careful about eating the cookies right out of the oven, the jam is like liquid LAVA. But so, so, so yummy. I made them with crunchy peanut butter, Omnomnomnom. A definte make again.

Oh, and earlier that day I decided to do a little food art- Yepp, I am a loser like that =D
